“When we spoke this morning you told us that both of you

wanted a more natural crib for your pup. Unlike the modern styles you find at the baby store. So we hope you guys like our idea and will accept our gift.” Rodrick states, making it clear this was his idea.

I was beginning to suspect what was wrapped up in old blankets. I just wasn’t sure how they managed to find the perfect crib when we didn’t. All I knew was that it was most likely why Rodrick seemed in such a rush after our second meeting of the day.

“Well when you outgrew the crib, your father and I had it restored. There were some dents and scratches in the wood. But you know, we never got to fulfill our wish of putting a second baby to sleep in that crib. We’re not sad about that anymore, not when we look at what we do have. But feel free, to be honest, if that’s not ooomphhf” I knocked the air out of Isabella’s lungs with how had I hugged her. Or maybe it was because it was so suddenly, as she was still explaining why they had gifted us Griffin’s old crib.

two of you. And the judgment you made” Rodrick told us, he winked and I was sure he knew this before. He
